🍽️ Servings

6–8 slices

⏱️ Time

• Prep: 10 minutes
• Bake: 25–30 minutes
• Total: ~40 minutes

🧾 Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat, thick)
• 3 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 cup almond flour (fine, blanched)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for savory flavor)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a small loaf pan (8×4 inch) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until fully combined and a thick batter forms.

4. Combine

Stir in olive oil or melted butter. The batter should be slightly thick but spreadable.

5. Prepare Pan

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.

6. Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:

• The top is golden
• A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

7. Cool & Slice

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Cool completely before slicing for best texture.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use thick Greek yogurt—runny yogurt can make the bread too moist.
• Let it cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
• For extra fluffiness, you can separate eggs and whip the whites before folding them in.
• Store in the fridge for better texture and freshness.

🔄 Variations

• Cheesy Version: Add ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
• Herb Bread: Add dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary
• Sweet Version: Skip garlic powder, add 1–2 tbsp sweetener + vanilla
• Seeded Bread: Sprinkle sesame or flax seeds on top before baking

❓ Q&A

Q: Is this truly zero carb?
Not completely—almond flour and yogurt contain small amounts of carbs, but it’s very low-carb.

Q: Can I replace almond flour?
Yes, coconut flour can be used, but only about ⅓ cup (it absorbs more moisture).

Q: Why is my bread dense?
This can happen if the batter is overmixed or yogurt is too watery.

Q: How to store it?

• Fridge: up to 5 days
• Freezer: up to 2 months (slice before freezing)

Q: Can I toast it?
Yes! It toasts beautifully and gets slightly crisp on the edges.
